Brewers to Dale Sveum: "Thanks, but no thanks."
The Brewers announced a trio of moves tonight. They gave general manager Doug Melvin a three-year contract extension that will keep him in Milwaukee through 2012, removed Dale Sveum from consideration for the manager's job and dismissed hitting coach Jim Skaalen. Melvin continues his search for a manager and experience could be a key factor in the decision.

Saturday Scorecard: A very important free agent
While Brewers fans continue to fantasize about the club signing CC Sabathia, another important free agent is hanging out at home in Hartland, waiting for the phone to ring. Pitching coach Mike Maddux's contract with the team is set to expire and -- depending what happens with the manager -- it's uncertain whether he will return to the club next season.

Mission unaccomplished for Suppan, Brewers
When the Brewers signed veteran right-hander Jeff Suppan to a four-year, $42 million contract before the 2007 season, they were banking on his experience and reputation as a "big-game" pitcher. In one of the bigger games in 26 years, Suppan came up short and doomed the club to a season-ending 6-2 loss to Philadelphia.

Saturday Scorecard: History in the making
Two games into their first playoff run in 26 years and facing the threat of elimination in Game 3 against Philadelphia, the Brewers found themselves talking about 1982. Though they respect franchise history, they'd like to forge an identity of their own. Bench coach Robin Yount, a key figure on the '82 team, wants to help.
